Ravi Bishnoi to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A soft dismissal! Ravi Bishnoi provides India a much-needed breakthrough! Bishnoi floats it up, outside off. Pathum Nissanka is tempted in the flight as he looks to hit this wide of long on. A tough choice of shot as he has to fetch this one from outside off. Nissanka does not commit to the shot and just chips it towards long on where Riyan Parag runs to his right and takes it. Sri Lanka lose their first wicket at the score of 58, requiring 80 runs in 67 balls.

Ravi Bishnoi to Kusal Mendis, A big, big shout for LBW and the finger goes up after an eternity! Kusal Mendis takes the review but this looks like a review more in hope than anything else. Bishnoi bowls it slower through the air but the length is short, there to be pulled away. Kusal Mendis goes deep in the crease for the pull but the ball comes onto him even slower. He fails to connect and the ball hits him on the crouched back leg. There is nothing on UltraEdge and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. Mendis falls for 43 (41). Is there still life left in this game?

Washington Sundar to Wanindu Hasaranga, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Expertly held by Ravi Bishnoi! Wanindu Hasaranga holes out! Sundar dangles the carrot as he slows it up and offers flight, full and on middle, Wanindu Hasaranga falls for the trap as he gets down for the slog sweep. Gets more height than distance as it goes towards deep square leg. The ball swirls away a bit in the air but Ravi Bishnoi has his eyes on the ball all the way through. Adjusts well to the ball drifting away a bit from him and dives to his left to grab it. Sri Lanka are 117/3, needing 21 from 21.

Washington Sundar to Charith Asalanka, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Two in two for Washington Sundar and India believe! Sri Lanka are wobbling here. Sundar comes from around the wicket and gets the ball to drift in, full and on of, Charith Asalanka looks to play the line of the ball but plays inside the line of the ball. The ball straightens just enough to catch the outside edge and Sanju Samson makes no mistake this time. From 110/1, Sri Lanka are now 117/4, needing 21 runs from 20 balls.

Rinku Singh to Kusal Perera, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Suryakumar Yadav with that smile on his face. Rinku Singh bowls it quicker and flattens his trajectory this time around. Lands it short and drifts it on the leg stump line. Kusal Perera gets over-ambitious to take on the part-timer and goes for a pull shot but he ends up top-edging it over the mid on region. Rinku Singh moves to his left and settles underneath it, takes a safe catch. Kusal Perera perishes it on 46 (34).

Rinku Singh to Ramesh Mendis, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! More drama! Ramesh Mendis goes for the glory shot but it does not come off for him. Two in the over for Rinku Singh. India have somehow managed to take the game to the last over with Sri Lanka requiring 6 runs from 6 balls. Rinku drops it short and on middle, there to be put away. Ramesh Mendis goes on the back foot to pull it over deep mid-wicket. Connects well but it is enough to clear the man in the deep. Shubman Gill runs to his left near the fence and balances himself well to take the catch.

Suryakumar Yadav to Kamindu Mendis, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Would you believe it? Kamindu Mendis could not have picked out the man in the deep any better. Suryakumar Yadav has a sheepish look on his face as it was there for Mendis to put away. A rank long hop by Suryakumar Yadav, on off, Kamindu Mendis brings out the reverse sweep but gets this one low on the bat. Spoons a simple catch to deep backward point where Rinku Singh takes an easy catch. Sri Lanka under pressure. 6 needed off 4 now.

Suryakumar Yadav to Maheesh Theekshana, OUT CAUGHT BEHIND! Strangled down leg and this is a sharp catch by Sanju Samson! Two in two for Suryakumar Yadav as Sri Lanka continues to wilt under pressure. They have now lost their last 7 wickets for 26 runs. Fired in down leg by SKY, flat and short, Maheesh Theekshana goes for the sweep to get it behind square on the leg side but misses. There is a noise as Sanju Samson takes it to his left. The umpire is unmoved and India take the review. The UltraEdge shows that there is glove involved. What a time to get it right! 6 needed off 3 now.
